Chapter 381: Suspicion of Qin Mo, Concubine Jing is relieved
If one day the emperor becomes suspicious of the Fucha family, then the person kneeling here would be his sister.
The emperor ordered Nian Ying to be forcibly taken back to Yiku Palace. After realizing that her brother really could not be saved, Nian Ying decided not to make a fuss anymore because she was afraid that her brother's remaining bloodline would not be saved.
Nian Dancing was completely depressed, but the Queen and Zhen Huan were quite proud of it.
Among all the happy people, only Concubine Xiang Cao Qinmo was depressed.
She thought Zhen Huan could get Wen Yi back to her, but she didn't expect the emperor would disagree.
Concubine Xiang couldn't help but regret that if she had not accepted the imperial decree to make her a concubine, and just begged the emperor to let Wen Yi come back, perhaps things would not be like this now.
But it's too late to regret. The emperor has made his own decision and there is no room for maneuver in this matter.
She could only wait for an opportunity to win Wen Yi back in the future.
When Concubine Jing learned from Fu Cha Zhixi that the Emperor planned to change the name of Wen Yi's mother in the imperial edict to her, she was so happy that she almost kowtowed to Fu Cha Zhixi.
After all, she was really grateful to the imperial concubine for helping her so much. If the imperial concubine had not advised her, she would feel uneasy when she thought about this matter in the future.
Concubine Jing thought about what Fu Cha Zhixi had asked her to do before. Because the emperor had been busy with state affairs recently and had no time to come to her palace, she did not find a chance to talk to the emperor about the matter of the Sixth Prince.
It would be a bad idea to delay it any longer. If the emperor didn't come, she would have to think of some way to invite him over.
However, the emperor soon came to Concubine Jing's palace on his own initiative because of Wen Yi, which saved Concubine Jing a lot of trouble.
The emperor took great care of Wen Yi. Seeing that Wen Yi had indeed grown a lot as the imperial concubine said, and that her body looked much stronger, he was very happy.
There was a rare bit of admiration in the emperor's eyes when he looked at Concubine Jing. It turned out that Concubine Jing treated the princess very well indeed. This made him more determined in his thoughts.
It would be better for Wen Yi to let Concubine Jing stay with him. After Cao Qinmo dies, Wen Yi will need to find a foster mother anyway. Switching back and forth like this will be bad for the child.
The emperor was so happy that he took the initiative to speak.
"You have taken good care of Wen Yi. I am relieved to leave Wen Yi to you, and you have lived up to my expectations."
"This is my responsibility. I will do my best to fulfill the tasks assigned to me by the Emperor."
Concubine Jing looked at the chubby Wen Yi in the emperor's arms and smiled lovingly.
"A few days ago, Concubine Xiang came to me and hoped that I could let Wen Yi return to her side. What do you think?"
Although the emperor has made his decision, he is still prepared to test it out.
"Xiangpin is the princess' biological mother. It would be a good thing if the princess returned to Xiangpin."
"It's just that I'm a little reluctant to let the princess leave me, but if this is better for the princess, then I'm willing to accept it."
After saying this, Concubine Jing's tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string, and Wen Yi, who was in the emperor's arms, saw her mother crying, and fluttered to run into Concubine Jing's arms.
"Mother, mother, no, don't cry."
Hearing Wen Yi's babyish words, Concubine Jing, who had originally just been pretending to be pitiful, cried even harder.
She quickly turned her back, wiped away her tears, and hugged Wen Yi in her arms to comfort him.
Seeing this, the emperor quickly spoke.
"It seems that Wen Yi can't bear to leave you, and you can't bear to leave Wen Yi either. If that's the case, I can't be the bad guy and forcibly separate you and your son."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your humble concubine..."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Jing was delighted and quickly knelt before the emperor and spoke in a choked voice.
"Alright, alright, get up quickly. I know you can't bear to leave Wen Yi."
Perhaps because the emperor had never received maternal love, he was very happy to see such a loving drama between a mother and her son.
"I have served the emperor for so many years, but I have never had a child of my own. I think I may not have this blessing in this life, but fortunately, I have the opportunity to raise Princess Wen Yi."
"I treat the princess as my own daughter, so I naturally don't want her to leave my side. Besides, I really don't like Xiangpin."
Concubine Jing looked at the emperor and felt that the time was ripe. Thinking of the kindness of the imperial concubine, she asked the wet nurse to take the princess back, and then she took the initiative to mention Concubine Xiang, somewhat riskily.
"Oh, I rarely see you have such a big opinion about the concubines in the palace."
The emperor was a little surprised when he heard this. After all, Concubine Jing was a good person who never argued with anyone. She was a concubine whom he trusted very much.
"I am not doing this because Xiangpin is the princess' biological mother. I just think that Xiangpin knew that Nian Ying was doing evil, but she did not persuade Nian Ying to do evil. Instead, she helped Nian Ying to do evil. She even took the initiative to report Nian Ying after Nian Ying lost power."
"Such behavior is really despicable. After all, Xiangpin was favored because of Nian Ying's recommendation, but Xiangpin didn't remember Nian Ying's kindness at all. After Nian Ying got into trouble, Xiangpin didn't even go to see Nian Ying."
Concubine Jing learned from the Imperial Concubine that the Emperor was also dissatisfied with Concubine Xiang's betrayal of Nian, so she would not easily anger the Emperor by speaking in this direction.
"You're right."
The emperor nodded in agreement when he heard this.
After all, he really disliked Xiangpin's character, and such a person was not worthy of raising his child.
Afterwards, Concubine Jing started with Wen Yi in a subtle way, mentioning the last time Fu Zhen got into trouble, and lamented that if something happened to Wen Yi, she would probably not be able to survive. This remark reminded the emperor of the incident again.
After all, he hasn't been able to give Xier an explanation for this matter until now, so how can he not be worried?
"It's a pity that the truth of this matter has not been uncovered yet. I really don't know who would be so cruel as to attack a child."
Concubine Jing spoke meaningfully.
"Yes, if I find the real culprit, I will punish him severely to correct the atmosphere in the harem."
The emperor looked ahead with cold eyes and spoke.
The emperor, thinking of this matter, once again ordered Xia Qian to investigate carefully, but this time the main focus was not on the queen, but on Concubine Xiang.
After all, Nian Ying had done so many evil things before, but Nian Ying didn't have the brains to do this. It must have been Xiangpin's idea.
Now that something happened to Nian Ying, Xiangpin was the first to step forward and report Nian Ying. This person had an extremely bad character. Perhaps only this person would have such vicious thoughts and means to murder the crown prince under his nose.
As for the reason, he might not have been able to figure it out before, but now it seems that it might be because of Wen Yi.
